Let's not forget the absurd insistence on "will change" semantics in onChange() instead of the far-more-useful notification "did change."
And of course the brain-dead design of withObservationTracking, which only fires on the FIRST change of a value. I mean... by what definition is that "tracking?" It's goddamned useless, unless of course you implement the clumsy workaround of re-establishing observation tracking every (first) time it fires.
Then there's the bizarre hypocrisy of evangelizing the "single source of truth" while telling everyone to prefer structs over classes in Swift. But structs are COPIED everywhere, which of course breaks the "single source of truth" on the first function call.
I wasted so much time trying to conform to these "best practices" until I finally realized that the people promoting them don't know WTF they're doing. Then I went back to classes, injected the "single source" everywhere it was needed, and got to work adding functionality.
And let's not even get into the half-assery that is SwiftUI... still, all these years later.
